The antibody C0266 from Assay BioTech against MMP did not produce meaningful results in western blot with the lysates from human tumor cells known to express MMP-14

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Tumor cell lysate

Primary Incubation

Overnight at 8-10 degrees Celsius, with rocking, 1.25 ug/ml in 5% milk/PBS/0.05%Tween

Blocking Agent

5% milk in PBS/0.05% Tween-20 (5% milk/PBS/Tw)

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-Rabbit antibody conjugated with HRP at 1:3,000 in 5% milk/PBS/Tw

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Chemiluminescence: West Pico from Thermo Scientific

Results Summary

The antibody C0266 from Assay BioTech against MMP did not produce any meaningful results in western blot with the lysates from human tumor cells known to express MMP-14. The antibody recognized 2 protein bands of wrong mol. wt.: Under reducing conditions there should have been a band of ~60 kDa, which would correspond to the full length MMP-14. Instead, the prominent bands of ~180 and 18 kD were detected by the antibody C0266.

Additional Notes

This anibody appear to be identical to the antibody TA312180 sold by Origene

Summary

The Good

None

The Bad

Two major bands, both of wrong mol. wt.

The Bottom Line

I would not recommend this antibody for detection of MMP-14.
